Hello! 
==========

<img src="profile.png" width="300" height="300">

I'm a doctoral student in Rich Lenski's [Experimental Evolution group](http://myxo.css.msu.edu/index.html) at Michigan State University. I joined the lab in Fall 2009. Before that, I worked in Mike Lynch’s [Evolutionary Genomics group](http://www.indiana.edu/~lynchlab/) at Indiana University.

I graduated from Brown University in 2008, where I first got interested in experimental evolution by writing an [honors thesis](http://brown.edu/research/labs/weinreich/sites/brown.edu.research.labs.weinreich/files/uploads/The%20Effects%20of%20Standing%20Genetic%20Variation%20on%20Adaptation%20to%20Novel%20Environments.pdf) under [Dan Weinreich's](http://brown.edu/research/labs/weinreich/) supervision. I've been into synthetic biology since 2005, when I spent a semester working in [Justin Gallivan's lab](http://www.gallivanlab.org/) as a freshman at Emory University.
